Interaction error in OpenStack Nova and Neutron before Havana 2013.2.1 and icehouse-1 does not validate the instance ID of the tenant making a request, which allows remote tenants to obtain sensitive metadata by spoofing the device ID that is bound to a port, which is not properly handled by (1) api/metadata/handler.py in Nova and (2) the neutron-metadata-agent (agent/metadata/agent.py) in Neutron.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a multi-tenant OpenStack metadata exposure issue. In affected Nova and Neutron combinations, one tenant could obtain sensitive instance metadata belonging to another tenant because requests were not properly tied back to the requesting tenant and instance. Exposure is limited to OpenStack deployments using affected Nova and Neutron metadata integration before Havana 2013.2.1 or icehouse-1. Shared or hosted multi-tenant clouds carry the highest business risk. Treat as urgent for any still-running legacy OpenStack Havana or pre-Icehouse environments. The impact is confidentiality loss across tenants, which can undermine cloud isolation and customer trust. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected OpenStack Nova and Neutron to fixed vendor-supported versions.; Review OpenStack OSSA-2013-033 and Red Hat advisories for package-specific fixes.; Prioritize shared cloud environments where untrusted tenants coexist..
